Cornerstone of Love

Modern Masters of Their Castles, Book 1

by Susan Carlisle

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Allison is an American constructional engineer who has been hired to see to the repairs at Hartley castle. She expects to see to her work and move on with her life. She has big plans of settling down in her grandparent old home and setting down roots. No more traveling for her.

Ian Chalmer’s is the current Earl of Hartley and a very busy man. He has to take car of his mother and sister, the family business and take care of the family legacy. He doesn’t have time for fun and laughter… until Allison walks into his life with her pink hardhat and frank speaking ways.

This opposites attracts brings together the classic aristocrat/ blue collar worker and also British/ American coupling. These characters had many difference, but many similarities in their stubborn and determined personalities. They are a delightful pair.

This was a fun light read. I really enjoyed the pacing of the story and the progression of the romance. A perfect little slice of modern castle life!

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
